When will politicians be confident enough to be single and will they get elected? It seems a requirement that you must be married to run for high office.
Good point.
Common wisdom indicates America doesn't like electing a single man ( or woman) for POTUS.
Plus, they need to have children ( at least 1 ).
Grover Cleveland back in 1887 was the only lifetime unmarried US President. He was briefly engaged however.
I also believe, Buchanan was unmarried when elected in 1857.
BOTH of them were a looooooong time before TV was a major form of political coverage.
